Setup help please
Hey community please can you help, I'm trying to set up a leased line for the office and trying to make sense of the settings, I'm clearly not in IT. I have a newly installed "wires only" leased line from Openreach. They gave me a sheet with lots of IP addresses etc, and I need to set up my eero pro 6e. I understand I need to set it up with a static IP address, the fields in the eero network settings appear to be "ip address" "subnet mask" & "Router IP"
The IP address fields Openreach gave are below. (I removed most from below but included the ones I think I need)
WAN Subnet:
WAN Subnet Mask: /31
WAN IP: 212.139.229.61
WAN Default Gateway:
Routed IP's Network Number
Routed IP Mask
/30
Routed First Host
Routed Second Host
Routed Last Host
Routed Broadcast Address
My questions are -
1. For the "ip address" field do I use WAN IP: 212.139.229.60
2. The subnet field they have given is /31. Is this 255.255.255.254? The eero doesn't seem to like this format as it will not save.
3. Is the "Router IP" the same as WAN IP but ending in 1 ie 212.139.229.1
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I also had to set up an eero Pro 6e with static IP WAN today as well and I was able to make it work.
I also was confused by what "router ip" was but according to a post 2 years ago from the eerosupport reddit account its more commonly known as Gateway
So for the 3 fields eero wants:
IP address: A ip address within your range (so .61? )
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.254 or 255.255.255.255
Router IP: "WAN Default Gateway"
In addition, I did this set up from factory reset.
